A mother's prayer!!

This is what my mother wrote to me just before my engagement... It brought tears to my eyes!

A PICTURE OF PERFECTION.


I thank God that He has made you......

beautiful enough- not to the extent that would make you arrogant.
intelligent enough- not to the extent to make you cynical.
smart enough-not to the extent that would make you think no end of yourself.
stylish enough- not to the extent that would make you snobbish.
disciplined enough- not to the extent that would make you intolerable.
healthy enough- not to the extend that would make you a hypochondriac.
successful enough- not to the extend that would make you haughty.
talented enough- not to the extend that would rob others of attention.
hardworking enough-not to the extend that would make you a workaholic.
lucky enough- not to the extend that would invite envy.
humble enough- not to the extend that would make you servile.
proud enough- not to the extend that you would fall.
famous enough- not to the extend to bask in your own glory.
Enough of everything but not enough for vanity.
Not perfect to the world,
but to your mother-YOU ARE A PICTURE OF PERFECTION.



May you be the joy of your new home as well.
The greatest strength to the one you most love.
and evolve to be the kind of person you really want to be.
May all your dreams come to fruition.
I dream for you just as much as you do-may be more.
We may anger each other and blurt out harsh words
But deep down within- there is a bottomless ocean of love,
A mother's love-called Birth pangs.
because it is born out of the greatest joy and the greatest pain.
{Aren't they the two different sides of the same coin?]
You have given us the joy of parenthood.
May you enjoy the same.

I ask pardon if there be any that remains unforgiven between you and me.
For this relationship should be sacred and everlasting-that is my plea.

GOD- To you I give all the glory as i call myself
THE PROUDEST MUM.
